The LINK meeting at Sun Prairie leaves us at a fork in the road.  How we proceed will depend upon a budget discussion that the Madison board makes later this month.

On the way back to Middleton, I stop at Land's End and a neighboring men's outlet that has recently opened.  I find a few things I like but spend no money.  After a longer-than-necessary lunch, I return to the library for a scheduled Area Leaders meeting.  Our agenda is mostly scheduling concerns and updates of ongoing projects.

Even though I'm supposed to pick up Andy at daycare, I stay at the library until 5:30  It's just too busy to leave things to two people.  A severely broken sleep pattern during the past two nights leaves me feeling tired all evening.  I have to put down the book I'm reading after a few pages and no recall.

JoAnna leaves early, I take Andy to daycare since it's on my way to Sun Prairie anyway.  RFP Committee meeting.  I stop at a McDonald's a couple of blocks from the library for a quick breakfast.  I stop by the house after the meeting expecting to find the carpet installers still engaged in their work.  Surprise!  They're done.  And what an improvement.  The blue carpeting in the master bedroom looks like a welcoming pool of water.  The berber carpet in the TV room is nothing less than stunning.  I was beginning to think we had made a bad choice here.  I take most of the afternoon off, getting the bedroom back in order.

I call the bozo who verbally beat up on Sheila yesterday, and he's relatively civil, though not about to give up on the idea of a receipt for books returned.
